The furious neighbour of a same-sex couple who were sent a hate-filled homophobic note has slammed the "disgraceful" comments.

Harvey Lincoln, 29, has lived next door to Vikki Parkey and her wife Stephanie for three years on the quiet Hull street.

The couple - who have lived on the road for six years - were left "shocked and hurt" after an anonymous letter was posted through their door which said their relationship is "immoral and wrong" and told them to "move to a more appropriate area".

Harvey branded the note "disgusting" and said people with those "dinosaur" attitudes are "not welcome" in the area, reports Hull Live.

Speaking from his home on Friday, Harvey said: "People who have these views are just not welcome in this neighbourhood.

"They are people who hold old fashioned views and dinosaur attitudes. This is 2019 and people should be ashamed and disgusted at what they have done by sending this letter.

"It's a very cowardly, disgraceful act and when I saw it on Facebook I just couldn't believe it. I made sure both of the girls were OK."

He added both Vikki and Stephanie "are lovely people" and are "great parents" to their 18-month-old daughter.

The dad-of-one said: "Vikki and Stephanie are lovely people and they don't deserve this abuse they have had to endure. I get on well with them both - they have a young daughter who is a similar age to my son and they are great parents.

"They are really good neighbours, all the neighbours down here are, we look out for each other.

"I think this is just one person that has done it and I don't like the fact that someone around my community is spreading hate crime and has a vendetta against my neighbours who are brilliant people who would do anything for their daughter."
